Reprocessed Stanley® Bed Alarm Sensormat® Pad Description
The Reprocessed STANLEY® Bed Alarm Sensormat® Pads are sensor pads designed for use with STANLEY® Fall Alarms to
detect when a patient has taken weight off the sensor to help notify nurses and caregivers that the patient has gotten up from a
sitting or resting position.
Indications for Use
The Stryker Sustainability Solutions Reprocessed STANLEY® Bed Alarm Sensormat® Pads are designed to sense body-weight
distributed over an area to detect when the patient lifts off the bed.
Warnings and Precautions
• Read all instructions carefully prior to use. Failure to do so could result in injury of a person in your care.
• Always test the system before each use.
• Model 74010FA Sensormat® pads are not recommended for persons weighing less than 80 lbs.
• Model 74030 and 92010 Sensormat® pads are not recommended for persons weighing less than 70 lbs.
• Sensormat® pads can be defeated by a cognitively aware person, a person with only a few moments of lucidity or an
uncooperative person. Properly assess each individual before a Sensormat® pad is used.
• The device should not be considered a substitute for routine staff visual monitoring consistent with your facility protocols
or other regulations.
• Keep the Sensormat® pad flat at all times. Do not bend, fold, roll, submerge in liquid, or tamper with Sensormat® pad. If the
Sensormat® pad is folded, it may not function properly.
• Sterilization by heat, gas or radiation voids all warranties.
• For model 74030, use only with STANLEY® Healthcare M200, Bed-Check®, UMP® or Micro-Tech® brand fall monitors.
• For model 74010FA, use only with STANLEY® Healthcare M200 or Bed-Check® brand fall monitors.
• For model 92010, use only with Bed-Check®, UMP® or Micro-Tech® brand fall monitors.
• For single patient use only.
• Only incontinence pads and mattress covers should be placed between pad and patient.
• For model 74010FA, using enclosed elastic bands and clips, secure the pad to bedsprings, bed frame, or mattress piping.
• Route the cable to the monitor so that it does not cross the pad surface, is not a trip hazard, and cannot be damaged by bed
or gurney mechanisms.
• Follow the Monitor User Guide procedures to connect the pad’s cable, and to test system functions.
• Before each use and then daily thereafter, test system functions and check the pad’s expiration date. If any test fails or the
pad has expired, discard the pad and DO NOT place it into service.
• Sensormat® pads may not be effective with air type bed mattresses or air type chair cushion pads; test before using.
• Operators of this equipment must be familiar with the functions and usage described in the Monitor User Guide, and must
be properly trained in the resident care policies and procedures of the facility.
Directions for Use
1. Read all Sensormat® pad and alarm instructions prior to use.
2. Check that Sensormat® pad, cord, and plug are clean and undamaged. Discard entire sensor if there is any damage.
3. When putting sensor pad into use, record the first use date and calculate expiration date from initial use.
4. Place the Sensormat® pad across the width of the bed, on top of the mattress with the labeled side up.
5. The preferred pad location is directly under the patient/resident’s buttocks 8 to 13 cm (three to five inches) below the
bend in the mattress when the head of the bed is elevated (refer to Figure 1).
a. Effective operation of the Sensormat® pad in the alternative location, behind the patient/resident’s back, is
dependent upon their weight and the articulation angle of the bed (refer to Figure 1).
6. For model 74010FA, secure the Sensormat® pad to the bedsprings, bed frame, or mattress piping with attached clips.
7. Plug the Sensormat® pad into the fall monitor and test before using (refer to Directions for Testing Sensormat® Pad).
Directions for Testing Sensormat® Pad
1. Plug the Sensormat® pad into the alarm monitor.
2. Apply FULL and FIRM palm pressure with your hand to the Sensormat® pad, and then remove pressure to make sure local
audible alarm is functioning properly.
3. Repeat this pressure/release test in several different areas along the entire length of the sensor pad to ensure entire
sensor pad functions properly.
4. If nurse call is used, make sure connections are properly made and functioning correctly.
